Sensors and Phenomenology

Technology Development Overview

SAIC's work in sensors and phenomenology spans the technology development spectrum, from research and development to innovative products deployed under wartime conditions, such as CounterBomber® and Intelli-Sense®.

Our expertise is focused on signature phenomenology, antenna and sensor design, signal processing, controls, computer vision, and artificial intelligence.

Key Sensors and Phenomenology Capabilities

• Intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance sensors and tasking, collection, processing, exploitation, and dissemination
• Counter-improvised explosive device (IED) solutions
• Electronic warfare systems

CounterBomber

SET Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of SAIC, is headquartered in Arlington, Va. SET creates and commercializes smart sensing and information solutions to highly challenging problems of national importance. SET's scientists and engineers address 21st century threats requiring innovative technologies for counter-IED, persistent sensing, human terrain, tactical intelligence, and cybersecurity applications.

SET's industry-leading CounterBomber system, which automatically detects human-carried suicide bombs at ranges beyond the bomb's blast zone, is deployed by U.S. forces at home and abroad.

• CounterBomber is a stand-off, easy-to-use automatic detection system designed to protect high-value assets, such as military bases, transportation hubs, and stadiums, against human-carried suicide bombs.
• Patented, non-imaging radar and video technology automatically interrogates standing or moving subjects and rapidly determines if the subject is concealing a suicide bomb.

Intelli-Sense

Intelli-Sense is a lightweight, long-life unattended ground sensor system that fuses data from multiple sensors to provide high-confidence detection of personnel and vehicles with a near-zero rate of false alarms.
